Bio

Motherhood can be a rewarding journey but it’s not without its challenges. In today’s world, being a mom comes with countless hurdles, fears, and losses; all made harder by the impossible standards of modern-day parenting, isolation, and lack of support many of us experience. Whether you’re a new mom adjusting to sleepless nights and the pressure of raising an infant, or a seasoned mom juggling the needs of your growing family, you’re not alone in feeling overwhelmed. No matter where you are in your parenting journey, you deserve a space where you can process what you’re going through, without shame or judgment.

I offer a safe, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, and neurodivergence-affirming space where you can explore your feelings, gain clarity, and begin to heal. Together, we’ll work on calming your nervous system, cultivating self-compassion, and reconnecting with your inner strength so you can begin to feel like yourself again.
Finding the right therapist is key to your wellbeing. If something in my profile resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to discuss how I can support you through the unique challenges you’re facing. I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you better.
